Could it be that these verses have more than one thing that we can
learn from them? I see two things here (The accusers were hypocrites,
and we all sin without always really seeing sin in our words and
actions) . I would not be surprised to see more with careful study.
That is one of the great things about reading and re-reading the Word.

Why didn't these do gooders bring them
both to Jesus since they were both involved in the same
act and they were caught at the same
time? I don't know, Judy; I could
speculate if you like. The point of the story is to
illustrate their blatant hypocrisy rather
than their own personal list of failures.
By the way, Judy, have you
noticed that you are sending two of each message to TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org
and then two more copies of the same via Cc? This may be why John is
seeing doubles.
Bill
. . . but noone said a word about the
man and the Law said they were both to be stoned.
It is not I who speculates,
Judy.
Bill
No that's not it at all Bill
Would you like to add your
speculation about the man now to the clear Words of scripture?
. . . but noone said a word about
the man and the Law said they were both to be stoned.
So Jesus let her off on a
legal technicality. Is that it?
What makes you so sure
they had not already stoned the man? Bill
Who is trying to kill you,
Blaine, or anyone else JD. Don't make this into something it's not.
The men Jesus was
speaking to were going to stone
the adultress to death but noone said a word about the man and the Law
said they
were both to be stoned. As for
TT. Mormon handshakes and sacred signs are occult and Mormonism itself
is
considered to be a cult by
Mainstream Christianity. So what is your problem? Does speaking the
truth to you
make the messenger your enemy?
I didn't take it as a personal insult. I knew you
didn't have that thought. No apology needed, but yours is appreciated,
nonetheless. Fair is fair, Blaine, but I think we both know the rest
of the story. You are right -- on TT it is apparently OK to do or say
whatever as long as one thinks the opponent is the enemy.
When Christ said "He who is without sin cast the
.....," it is clear the He believed that all possess sin at any given
moment on some level ...........but the sinless
perfection crowd arrogantly disagrees (when it
is so obvious otherwise.)

Hmmm, JD is right, denigrating the symbols of
another's religious beliefs was wrong. I apologize--apparently I
offended JD, although I did so unthinkingly and without intention. It
just came off the top of my head. Sometimes we get too caught up in
proving our opinions and beliefs are more valid than every one else's,
and I think I may have done just that.
Now, if I may, I would like to ask for an apology
from anyone who supported waving Mormon underclothing in public by the
street preachers at general conference in Salt Lake City. And, the same for those who more
recently have denigrated Mormon handshakes, and other sacred symbols on
TT. And the same for
those who have insisted on spelling "Mormon" with a lower-case
letter. :>)
What is fair is fair, huh?

One of the weirdest songs I ever heard was The
Old Rugged Cross. It seemed to glorify the cross in a negative
way. I doubt the Lord even to this day is overly fond of that old
rugged cross. :>)
Blainerb
I have to say something here -- both of you
have made it clear (and I am not angry , by the way) that your stay
here on TT has given you nothing in terms of reason for crossing
over. Well, consider your failure in this regard, as well. With
as much variety as exists here amongst us Christians, you would think
someone would consider the Mormon religion. But this latest
discussion, while revealing, would surely close the door to any serious
student of the Bible. To put down "death" and the "cross" is to
simply miss the point of the life of Christ here on this earth
.............. and miss the mark by a wide margin !!!
